Jim accidentally runs over Mary in the parking lot. Mary was walking to her car (maybe she wasn’t paying really close attention to traffic), Jim didn’t look both ways, so he ran her right over. (Mary will fully recover, but without any insurance, she is liable for the retail medical bills.) Jim claims that he did not intend to hurt Mary, and Mary concurs. Assume Mary’s injuries are valued at one million ($1,000,000).
1. If the law of the jurisdiction is strict liability for this situation, how much will Jim pay?
